A free tweak revisited


I am absolutely positive that this subject has been discussed before, but last night as I was listening I was reflecting on how big a difference (for me) turning the lights off and (probably redundantly) closing my eyes makes.  My listening room is a quite near field environment, but with the lights off/eyes shut I hear the illusion of a sound stage wider than the boundaries of the room with height and some depth.  (However, the sound stage I get is not as deep as it is wide.)  Opening my eyes and looking at the speakers so close to me is kind of like sticking a pin in the balloon.

Exactly the same with me. Indirect low light against the natural stone wall limited to the space behind the speakers does some good to the listening experience, at least to me. However, chances of falling asleep remain a potential threat ;-)
